I currently have a Nook Classic being shipped to me now (taking a while since I am in Australia).

While I have my fingers crossed that I can root this, eg. firmware 1.4.1 etc... I've got a feeling it will be FW 1.5

Anyway why I am posting.... Has development for the Nook Classic stopped? Looking on this forum almost all the questions/answers are for the Nook Colour. On NookDev all the new and upto date pages are for the Nook Colour.

I love eInk screens, the reason why I didn't get a Nook Colour. Plus since 99.99999% of my books will be sideloaded, I can't use cover flow (a selling feature that got me away from getting a Kindle).

Anyway just hoping that the quiet/stillness of Nook Classic is be because they are hard at work working out 1.5 hehehehe.
